​​Loca​​tio​n

The 10.1-mile segment runs from the Pierce/Dunn County line in the town of Weston to WIS 25 in the town of Dunn, all in Dunn County.

Overv​iew

The existing asphalt pavement on WIS 72 is showing signs of deterioration. To address this, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:

  • Remove 2.25 inches of the existing asphalt pavement and place 3.25 inches of new asphalt.
  • Install centerline rumble strips.
  • Place and compact aggregate on the road shoulder.
  • Replace the four wing walls on the Knights Creek Bridge.
  • Complete culvert maintenance, including adding riprap to the box culvert east of 220th Street and sealing the joints on the box culvert east of 290th Street.
  • Clear culverts and ditches.
  • Replace guardrail.
  • Mark the pavement.
  • Complete restoration work.

Traffic Im​p​​​acts

  • WIS 72 will remain open to through traffic during construction, but motorists might encounter:
    • Single-lane closures controlled by flagging.
    • Stops signs will be used to control traffic for wing wall replacement at Knights Creek Bridge.

Schedule​​ - Update​​d

Construction currently is scheduled for ​2028.
